Spectrum Monitoring Techniques: Using a spectrum analyzer for unattended spectrum monitoring
●Spectrum monitoring is a powerful tool that can be used to ensure that the RF communications we all depend on for both civilian and defense applications work, and work well.
●The need to make more effective use of our RF spectrum comes from a number of fronts.
■On the consumer side, as the move to smart phones and 4G/5G shows, the public appetite for bandwidth is growing rapidly. This is driving the re-farming of spectrum in auctions, spectrum clearing activity, coverage checks, and inevitably, activity by the broadcasters, who are giving up some of this spectrum.
■Emergency services are expanding into new bands with new technologies – P25, new versions of TETRA, or moving to LTE. This migration drives spectrum monitoring needs similar to the cellular needs, even if on a smaller scale.
■Defense departments around the world are becoming more and more dependent on electronic communications – for routine messaging, tactical communications, and covert operations.
●In each area, spectrum monitoring is used to ensure reliable communications. The need for effective spectrum monitoring will only grow for the foreseeable future. This note will help you understand the tradeoffs in monitoring spectrum, as well as how to set up your analyzer for your situation.
